We literally justtt got back, but we had sometime to kill so we thought we’d post early for a change. Crazy, right?! So, Warner Nash hosted 2011’s premiere Pickin’ on the Patio party tonight (evennn though it rained and they had to have it in the conference room, ha), an event they started last year in attempt to be a little neighborhood friendly, have some free food and and celebrate some great music. Like we said, this was the first of the year, but these parties are held every 4th Thursday of the month, each spotlighting different artists. This year they kicked it off with the oh so classic Mandy Barnett. Though not yet part of their official roster, Mandy recently released a full length album through Warner. Entitled, Sweet Dreams, the record is a Patsy Cline tribute, covering a dozen of the queen of country’s best hits including “She’s Got You, Strange” and Willie’s classic, “Crazy.” It is available everywhere, btwzz. The event was extremely chill, we attended one last year, so we kind of knew what to expect. A lot of great food, free alcohol, and a ton of music industry insiders. Mandy was, of course, amazing. She’s a close second to Patsy, if there ever was one. We were really excited to see her perform up close and personal as they’re putting the very same showcase on at the Ryman in a few weeks. How sweet?! Can’t wait for next month’s!
